Hernández-Cuevas) Received: 25 January 2017; accepted: 07 September 2017 Abstract In Mexico, studies of diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are still scarce. Here we report the second record in the world, and the first record in Mexico of Glomus trufemii (Glomeraceae) from a tropical humid savanna. These results provide an incentive to increase inventories of AMF in savannas, as well as to preserve this endangered ecosystem. Keywords: Diversity; Oaxaca; Glomoid species; Sporocarpic species Resumen En México, los estudios de la diversidad de hongos micorrízicos arbusculares (HMA) aún son escasos. Se reporta el segundo registro de Glomus trufemii (Glomeraceae) para el mundo y el primero para México, de una sabana tropical húmeda. Estos resultados incitan a incrementar los inventarios de HMA en las sabanas y a preservar estos ecosistemas amenazados. Palabras clave: Diversidad; Oaxaca; Especies glomoides; Especies esporocárpicas More than 260 species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (17°29’ N, 95°37’ W; 100-300 m asl), Mexico, rhizospheric (AMF) have been described and almost 25% of them (ca. soil samples were collected from natural savannas (fide, 70 species) correspond to the genus Glomus (Glomerales, A. Gómez-Pompa). This savanna is recognized by the Glomeraceae) which forms glomoid spores with a single herbaceous stratum dominated by the grasses Paspalum wall with few layers (Schüßler & Walker, 2010); it is spp., Panicum spp., Hyparrhenia spp. (Poaceae) and distributed from xeric to humid environments worldwide.
